Subject: desktop switcher stays visible

Subject: desktop switcher stays visible
Package: openbox
Version: 3.2-4
Severity: normal

for a couple weeks now in gnome with openbox, the openbox's desktop
switcher display that pops up when switching desktops (ctrl-alt-arrow
keys) gets stuck in the foreground and won't go away until another key
is pressed (usually ctrl). this locks out mouse activity until i get it
to go away.

metacity does the same thing in gnome. running openbox by itself
(without gnome session) does it. sawfish in gnome doesn't pop up a
switcher, and i've not seen evidence of it locking out the mouse clicks,
like the pop up switchers have.

since different wm's started doing it, i guess it could be an x thing,
but i'm not sure to start, so i'm starting with openbox. thanks.
